Roger Walter's performed at MGM Grand!! Wonderful PICS! The WALL!



Roger Waters performed Pink Floyd's THE WALL at MGM Grand Garden Area
in Las Vegas, NV on Nov 26th, 2010

This show was a presentation of epic proportions. Roger Waters has brought back the Floyd masterpiece THE WALL for a 2nd tour (the last and first tour was in 1980-1981 with his band Pink Floyd) and tonight's show in Vegas was the 30th of a 36 show North American Tour Water's is calling his Farewell Tour and celebration of The Wall's
30th anniversary.

Waters has performed The Wall only one time since 1981 in Berlin Germany in 1990 to commemorate the fall of The Berlin wall.The new version of the 2010 Wall show featured many of the original theatrics and monumental stage sets and props from the original tour with an injection of new technology making it a state of the art presentation
in concert sound and visuals. The sound in MGM Grand Garden was absolutely perfect and music and sound effects surrounded the audience from all directions throughout.

The performance of Water's masterpiece, that he wrote while with Pink Floyd, took fans on a journey through the madness, addictions and struggles of the fictional character named Pink, loosely based on Water's himself. The album was born out of Water's own isolation, dissolution and lifelong fears. Water's and the band performed all 4 sides of the album and fans watched as the wall slowly went up brick by brick finally concealing the entire band behind the wall by the end of set 1. The Wall spanned across the entire MGM Garden Arena and the band returned to perform the bulk of the 2nd set behind the wall.
Water's laced the performance with modern themes and political and social messages making the show more topical for a modern audience and addressing issues he finds important to share with his audience. Water's addressed the crowd at the end of the show after the Wall was torn down in an explosive finale. He spoke about when he wrote The
Wall 30 years ago, and how he was in a different state of mind, frightened & isolated, but today he is a brighter more cheerful man and seems at peach with his place in life and he said how much he loved being on stage and being there with his fans.

If this is in fact his farewell tour, as he has stated, then it's quite an extraordinary exit he is making. Die hard Pink Floyd fans are still hopeful and waiting for him and David Gilmour to reunite one more time with drummer Nick Mason for a Pink Floyd tour....but it's unlikely and this is perhaps the final chapter for live Pink Floyd music. It's up to David Gilmour now.

"The King of Waltz" Dances into The Orleans Arena tonight!


Known as the “King of Waltz,” AndrĂ© Rieu returns to the Orleans Arena with his Celebration of Music Tour, Tuesday, November 30 at 7:30 p.m.

A Dutch violinist, conductor and showman, Rieu, who has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, has said of this tour, “I always say that music is the most wonderful thing in the world. Music triggers emotions. I want to bring an ode to waltzes and polkas that bring joy, to romantic ballads and to many more beautiful melodies. It will be a very special night.”

Encouraged by his father, a symphony conductor, Rieu began violin lessons at the age of 5. Rieu’s training eventually took him to the Royal Conservatory of Brussels where he was awarded the Premier Prix. In 1978 he formed the Johann Strauss Orchestra, which has grown from 12 to nearly 50 members.

AndrĂ© Rieu holds the No. 8 position in Pollstar’s top 10 list of worldwide touring acts, a major accomplishment for a classical artist. A testament to his international appeal, Rieu topped the Australian charts in 2008, surpassing the Australian Idol and Madonna for the No. 1 album.

Mystic Falls is a Winter Wonderland at Sam's Town!



The Western pioneer-themed Mystic Falls Park, located inside Sam’s Town Hotel and Gambling Hall, will once again transform into a popular winter wonderland for the holidays! November 24 through January 2. To enhance the true holiday experience, Sam’s Town has partnered with Nellis Air Force Base for the Cell Phones for Soldiers program.

Sam’s Town will accept donations of used mobile phones for the Cell Phones for Soldiers program. Each phone donated to the program equates to an hour of talk time for soldiers abroad. Teenagers Robbie and Brittany Bergquist from Norwell, Mass., with $21 of their own money, founded Cell Phones for Soldiers. Since then, the registered 501c3 non-profit organization has raised almost $2 million in donations and distributed more than 500,000 prepaid calling cards to soldiers serving overseas.

Upon entering Mystic Falls, guests will be greeted with festive garland streams, whimsical snow covered lampposts and more than 50 glimmering trees adorned in lights. A dazzling 30-foot professionally decorated Christmas tree is sure to inspire holiday cheer.

As the holiday show begins, three new polar bear scenes and a river scene with two fishing polar bears come to life in their snowy surroundings. Like in the Western snowy mountains, snow floats from the sky capping the waterfall and mountain range. All the while, light images and shooting water dance to traditional holiday music including “Frosty the Snowman,” “Let It Snow” and “The Nutcracker,” placing guests in the middle of a magical winter wonderland experience in the heart of the Boulder Strip.

The free 15-minute winter show will take place at 6 p.m., 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. nightly.
